“In this elegant little book of wisdom, Lama Zopa Rinpoche reveals a lexicon of sound, practical, and transforming advice. Rinpoche’s words are like glittering lances that plunge deep into our hearts, cutting away delusions and letting in the light of new truth. This is a beautifully produced book that is comprehensive and representative of Rinpoche’s teaching in an accessible form. With the path to happiness distilled for young and old, it would make the perfect gift for family and friends who may not have had the good fortune to meet Lama Zopa.”—Mandala

“Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s profound aphorisms are mind blowing and heart opening. His ability to essentialize enlightenment in the most direct and simple language is astonishing. ‘What if all happiness, anywhere, is your happiness?’ he asks. The only adequate response would be to awaken to the inseparability of self and others—in deepest wisdom, love and joy.”—John Makransky, author of Awakening Through Love

“Profound Buddhist teachings on turning every step of life into the wisdom-light of happiness are distilled here in simple words for both advanced and beginning meditators.”—Tulku Thondup Rinpoche, author of The Healing Power of Mind
